I am definitely not a sculptor, and even pieces that don’t look that great sculpted can look real nice after you’ve painted them. Be careful and try not to leave fingerprints on the pieces like I often did, they will show up on your casted pieces! The more time you spend on this step, the better your set will look. This made sure that anything I add to the hex doesn’t mess up the shape of the base. I cut down with a straight knife then baked the flat hexes. When you have enough rolled out (each flat hex took me a little more than one package of FIMO), use a cardboard hex from the game to get the shape right. I used 1/4"x2"x4 poplar strips my wife uses to roll out sugar cookies.You can get them for a couple of dollars at any home improvement store. Use a guide on each side of the clay to make sure it has an even thickness. Roll your clay out with a rolling pin or other sufficiently round item. Materials you will need: Clay or other modeling compound (I prefer polymer clay, it stays hard until you bake it) Sculpting tools (dental tools are nice for real small details) 2 small strips of thin wood (1/4"x2x4 poplar was what I used) rolling pin rubber or latex gloves plastic cups pastic spoons silicone compound (I used Smooth-On's Oomoo 25) plastic compound (I used Smooth-On's Smooth-Cast 300) Mold Release (I used Mann's Ease Release 200) 4" pvc pipe joint hobby knife sandpaper (progressively finer grits recommended) Spray paints( automobile primer, different colors for the base parts, clear matte coating) Airbrush (strongly recommended) enamel paints (I used Testor's from a hobby shop) and brush cleaner small paintbrushes cotton swabs, tissue paper, and paper towels are nice for cleanup work You can visit my site for more details and larger versions of the images. I previously wrote this up on my blog as Make your own 3D Settlers of Catan.
The aim of this instructable is to help you through the process of making your own unique 3D tile set to play Settlers of Catan on.
